How absolutely cool. I love it! Chinese women know how to get things done. I wish we had let every last Hongkie in when we disgracefully abandoned Hong Kong.

I'd love it if Lee Hsien Loong was prime minister of Britain. The two heads of government I admire most are John Howard and Lee Hsien Loong.

Stamboul Tory - There was talk of giving them a Scottish island, a bit larger than Hongkers and letting them go to it. I would have moved there in a New York minute.
